Born on 26 June 2003 in Scotland, Dane Murray is an accomplished defender known for his sterling performances in a Celtic jersey. Standing at an impressive 6 feet 3 inches (1.93 metres) and tipping the scales at 12 stone 1 pound (77 kilograms), Murray's formidable presence on the pitch is only intensified by the imposing number 47 plastered across his jersey.
As of now, his market value sits at a humble £130k, a figure supplied by the reliable folks over at Transfermarkt. His Celtic contract is set to run its course on the last day of May 2025, leaving a scant 2 months on the clock.
Murray began his Celtic journey in July 2019 as a fresh young trainee, possibly dreaming of one day playing for the first team. The 2024-2025 season, unfortunately, hasn’t favoured him at Celtic, where he has yet to make a league appearance.
Proving that every cloud has a silver lining, Murray found his feet in the Championship with Queens Park. August 2024 saw him loaned out to the Glasgow side. During the 2024-2025 season, he markedly improved, making 18 first-team appearances in league matches. Alas, come January 2025, he was recalled to Celtic, where his match attendance has so far remained sparse.
Despite the vicissitudes of the domestic league, Murray has tasted the sweetness of battle on larger stages. His contributions to Celtic's campaign in the Scottish Cup 2024-2025 consisted of a single starting appearance, whilst the Champions League 2024-2025 saw him don Celtic colours for one electrifying stint as a substitute.
One can only hope that the opportunities Murray finds in the future fully appreciate his talent, laying the way for more robust appearances in the green and white halves.
